Pictures of Steve Rixon
Profile:A sound wicketkeeper and dependable lower-order batsman who entered the NSW team following the retirement of Brian Taber. Was thrust into the spotlight when chosen for Australia against India and the West Indies in 1977-78 after Rodney Marsh and Richie Robinson were signed up for World Series Cricket. After being Marsh's backup on the 1981 Ashes tour he received his next international opportunity after Marsh retired, when Wayne Phillips was injured in 1984-85. He signed for a lucrative, but rebel, tour of South Africa in 1985-86 which ended his Test career. At the time of his retirement in 1988 he had played more games for New South Wales than anyone else.After his retirement as a player, Rixon became coach of the New South Wales team in 1989-90. In his first five seasons the Blues reached the Sheffield Shield final on each occasion, winning three, and achieving the shield/one-day cup double twice. Was a successful coach of the New Zealand team from late 1996 until the end of the England tour of 1999, after which he returned to Sydney to pursue his business interests. Returned to coach the New South Wales team on a two-year contract commencing from the 2000/01 season. (Rick Eyre, May 2000) |
